Join us to hear Dr Harleen Kaur Johal discuss her research into communication and conflict in critical care. Harleen’s lecture is one of a series that celebrates 30 years of the Centre for Ethics in Medicine, in Bristol Medical School. Harleen is a resident doctor in anaesthetics in the Severn deanery and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bristol. She was awarded a National Institute for Health and Care Research Academic Clinical Fellowship in 2023. Her doctoral and postdoctoral research has largely been based at the Centre for Ethics in Medicine, and has focused on the ethical and legal aspects of critical care, best interests decision-making, and addressing inequity in healthcare and academia. Harleen teaches across undergraduate and postgraduate settings and is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. In addition to participating in clinical ethics advisory groups, she co-founded the Black and Brown in Bioethics initiative, which aims to centre and elevate under-represented perspectives in the field.
